Abstract(in English) This paper reports two evaluation experiments of moving picture of sign language, supposing that the movie encoding technique is utilized for sign tele-communication such as video phones. The first experiment is evaluation of comprehensibility of moving sign pictures which are encoded by various parameters. The second experiment is intelligibility test of moving sign pictures which are displayed by three kinds of screen size, 2, 4 and 12 inches. Following results were obtained: The width of quantization step which determines preciseness of picture does not affect the comprehensibility of sign. The screen size does not affect the comprehensibility, too. We also verified the validness of our improved encoding technique which utilizes the special feature of sign language.
